Network & IT Security

GFI LanGuard

Patch management: Fix vulnerabilities before an attack
Patch management is vital to your business. Network security breaches are most commonly caused by missing network patches. GFI LanGuard scans and detects network vulnerabilities before they are exposed and reduces the time required to patch machines on your network. GFI LanGuard patches Microsoft ®, Mac® OS X® and other third-party operating systems and applications; and deploys both security and non-security patches.

Vulnerability assessment: Discover security threats early
GFI LanGuard provides a detailed analysis of what is happening on your network – which applications or default configurations, that are posing a security risk. GFI LanGuard gives you a complete picture of installed applications, hardware on your network, the state of security applications (antivirus, anti-spam, firewalls, etc.), open ports, and any existing shares and services running on your machines.

Network auditing: Analyze your network centrally
More than 50,000 vulnerability assessments are carried out across your networks, including virtual environments. GFI LanGuard scans your operating systems, virtual environments and installed applications through vulnerability check databases such as OVAL and SANS Top 20. GFI LanGuard enables you to analyze the state of your network security, identify risks to the network, determine its degree of exposure, and address how to take action before it is compromised.

Product Features

Patch management for operating systems
GFI LanGuard’s patch management feature scans your network automatically or on demand. It gives you all the functionality and tools needed to effectively install and manage patches on all machines across different Microsoft and Mac OS X operating systems as well as applications in all supported languages.

Patch management for third-party applications
GFI LanGuard offers patch management support for third-party software (over and above for both Microsoft and Apple®), enabling administrators to detect, download and deploy missing patches for supported applications in the same way as it is done for Microsoft or Mac OS X updates.

Vulnerability assessment
During security audits, more than 50,000 vulnerability assessments are conducted, scanning the network IP by IP. With GFI LanGuard, you can perform multi-platform scans (Windows, Mac OS®, Linux) across all environments, including virtual machines, and analyze your network’s security setup and status.

Track latest vulnerabilities and missing updates
GFI LanGuard ships with a complete and thorough vulnerability assessment database, including standards such as OVAL (5,000+ checks) and SANS Top 20. This database is regularly updated with information from BugTraq, SANS Corporation, OVAL, CVE and others.

Network device vulnerability checks
Not only does GFI LanGuard, runs vulnerability checks on computers on your network, it also supports a number of network devices such as printers, routers and switches from manufacturers like HP and Cisco.

Network and software auditing
GFI LanGuard’s network auditing gives you a comprehensive view of your network such as – what USB devices are connected, what software is installed, any open shares, open ports and weak passwords in use, and hardware information.

Powerful interactive dashboard
It provides a summary of the current network security status and a history of all relevant changes in the network over time. It also drills down through information, from network-wide security sensors to individual security scan results.

Support for virtual environments
Organizations that use or plan on using virtualization on their network can install and use a range of GFI products with confidence.

Helps you comply with PCI DSS and other regulations
All businesses handling cardholder data with the regardless of size, have to be fully compliant with strict security standards drawn up by the world’s major credit card companies.

Powerful reporting
Multiply the value of GFI LanGuard with powerful reporting – its reports are designed to satisfy the requirements of both management and technical staff.

Agent technology
The agent technology enables automated network security audits and distributes the scanning load across the client machines. The administrator simply needs to define the network perimeter and provide credentials to enable automatic network discovery, agent deployment and auditing of the client machines. Manual intervention is only necessary when a fine-tuning is required.

Complete IT infrastructure monitoring and management
Unplanned system downtime ranges from a minor nuisance to a major catastrophe. Monitor the availability, functionality, performance and use of your IT assets – everything from network devices, workstations and servers to applications, business, infrastructure services and network protocols.

Product Features

Wide support for log sources
As a network administrator, you have experienced the cryptic and voluminous log data that makes log analysis a daunting process. GFI EventsManager handles this task by decoding it and presenting it in a simple, easy-to-read format.

Compliance reporting
There is often confusion among users as to which event log reports are needed to meet the requirements of different compliance acts. GFI EventsManager contains specific reports for many of the major compliance acts, as well as a suite of other reports focused on account usage and management, policy changes, object access, application management, print server usage, and many others. The reports are flexible and highly customizable; the layout, columns and row filter can all be changed.

Simple interface
Your network can be the source of considerable log data. Unless you can make sense of the information, however, it won’t provide you with the knowledge needed to effectively maintain your network. GFI EventsManager has an integrated dashboard that offers filtering-enabled charts; they provide a single point of contact with all the data you need to work efficiently.

Granular control of log data
GFI EventsManager offers rule-based, deep and granular control of log data, with out-of-the-box support for operating systems, applications and network devices, and classification of security information.

Safe storage of log data
Most of the industry standards, security best practices, or regulations covering network data management require that logs are kept in a secure manner that guarantees their accuracy and integrity. At the same time, access to the log data needs to be controlled to avoid disclosure of sensitive information or tampering attempts.

Reactivity and remediation capabilities
An important phase of IT management is incident remediation. GFI EventsManager reacts to security or IT issues by running code or scripts on the remote machines. You can stop services or processes, uninstall applications, reboot machines, disable user accounts, close network connections, flush caches, notify others, trigger third-party tools or custom code automatically and in real time.

Log processing rules and scanning profiles
GFI EventsManager ships with a pre-configured set of log processing rules that enables you to quickly and easily filter and classify log records that satisfy particular conditions. These templates make it simple to choose columns for reporting, as well as to perform column mappings. The supplied templates are also fully customizable.

Works in highly distributed environments
Sometimes your workstations and servers are not neatly located in one central location. Your organization might be spread across the country, or even across the globe. So how can you collect data and monitor scattered workstations? GFI EventsManager has the answer.

Unique combination of active checks and debug logs collection
Incident investigation is an important part of the IT management process. It usually involves analyzing various data to identify the cause of problems detected during the incident detection phase so they can be addressed as part of the incident remediation phase.

GFI EndPointSecurity

Prevent the risk of data leakage
Bring your own device (BYOD) and portable storage device use in the workplace significantly increase the likelihood of your business facing data leakage issues. GFI EndPointSecurity features risk assessment capabilities that identify assets possibly doubling as sources of data leaks. All functionality is built into a dashboard that provides relevant information, suggestions for boosting protection, and shortcuts to common security tasks.

Assess and control information that travels across endpoints
The data awareness module provides another layer of endpoint protection by scanning each relevant file and searching for the most common types of information susceptible to a security breach (e.g. SSNs, PANs, etc.). The module supports inputs in the form of regular expressions and dictionary files. It also contributes to your data loss prevention (DLP) and compliance efforts.

Easily control access to portable storage devices
From a single location, easily grant temporary network or workstation access to portable storage devices for a set period of time as well as block devices by class, file extension, physical port or device ID.

Product Features

Encryption for portable devices
When users connect to your network with a USB device containing unencrypted data, they are prompted to enter a password; GFI EndPointSecurity then encrypts all the contents on the device. After that, data can be accessed normally, with the added benefit of being encrypted using a strong AES 128-bit algorithm.

Computer auto-discovery
GFI EndPointSecurity monitors the network, detects new computers that are connected to the network, notifies the administrator, and performs various tasks as configured by the administrator.

Portable device usage reporting
The GFI EndPointSecurity ReportPack is a free powerful reporting package that adds on to GFI EndPointSecurity. It can be scheduled to automatically generate graphical IT level or higher level management reports based on data collected by GFI EndPointSecurity, enabling you to report on portable storage devices connected to the network, user activity, endpoint files copied to and from devices, and much more.

Group-based protection configuration
Categorize computers into protection groups. For each group, you can specify the level of protection and permitted portable device access.

Status monitoring and alerts
GFI EndPointSecurity provides real-time status monitoring through its user interface. It displays statistical data through graphical charts, the live status of the agent, and more.

Activity logs
USB sticks pose a significant threat to your business environment. They are small, easily hidden and can store up to 128 GB of data.

Agent deployment
GFI EndPointSecurity provides administrators with the ability to automatically schedule agent deployment after a policy or configuration change.

Whitelisting and blacklisting
GFI EndPointSecurity enables you to grant or deny access to a range of portable device classes, as well as block files transferred by file extension, physical port and the factory ID that identifies each device.

How the program works

No office can function without a printer. The bigger the office, the more printers it has, and the larger are the related costs on paper, ink and additional equipment. Printer Activity Monitor is a “do-gooder” kind of program that actually makes you money, instead of wasting it, by lowering your printing costs (up to fifty dollars a year per laser printer, according to our customer survey). How? It tracks each document printed and keeps a database of all printing activity.

Printer Activity Monitor immediately identifies any employees who overuse or abuse company printers. Second, it allows you to plan you printing budget properly, so you don’t have to buy extra ink, cartridges and paper “just in case”. Finally, it shows real use of each printer, so you can re-rout network document flow instead of purchasing new printers.

The program is presented in three modules. The first one(Agent) is works as system service and tracks every document printed. The second module(Data Center) calculates this data and third module(Console) generates reports and diagrams.

For example, you can build a report that shows how many documents were printed on a specified printer within the past two months. Also, you can have a breakdown of printer use (in pages printed) by each employee or workstation. Finally, you can have a printing budget for each department (number of pages allowed to be printed in a period of time) and put weekly statistics on the wall.

Our customers’ experiences clearly demonstrate that printer usage significantly decreases (by 15-40%) within the first month after the program installed and stays just as low. Some of our bigger clients save more than $10,000 a year with Printer Activity Monitor.

System requirements:

Patch Management

Patching your systems can be tricky and time-consuming. There is an easier way to keep software up-to-date and secure. With automated scans and regular updates, ControlPatch reduces your company’s risk of attack from cybercriminals and prevents productivity losses related to system performance issues.

Remote Control Software

Radmin is one of the safest, fastest and most popular remote access software solutions designed for Windows.
A remote computer screen can be viewed on a local monitor in either a window or a full-screen display. All mouse movements and keystrokes are transferred directly to the remote computer.
Files can be transferred to and from the remote computer, and communication with the remote computer’s user is possible by either Text Chat or Voice Chat.

Highest Speed of Work
Radmin is the fastest remote control software available. Its new DirectScreenTransfer™ technology uses a video hook kernel mode driver to boost the capture rate to hundreds of screen updates per second. Its special low-bandwidth optimizations lets you control remote computer comfortably even on dial-up modem and GPRS connections.
Remote Access Software – Challenge-response Password Authentication.

Highest Security Level
Radmin works in encrypted mode where all data, screen images, mouse movements and keyboard signals are encrypted using 256-Bit AES strong encryption with randomly generated keys for each connection to remote computer. For user authentication Radmin can use either Windows security with Active Directory and Kerberos support, or its own security with individual user permissions and secure login/password authentications. Radmin security uses Diffie-Hellman based key exchange with 2048-bit key size. Additional IP filters restrict access to specific hosts and networks.

Hardware remote control with Intel® AMT support
The new version of Radmin 3.5 supports Intel® AMT (Active Management Technology) and allows to control remote computer even if it’s turned off or you cannot start its operating system. Using Radmin Viewer you can turn on, restart and shut down the remote computer. It also enables the user to view and change the BIOS settings of the remote computer and to boot it from a local CD or disk image file.

Text and Voice Chat
Text Chat, Voice Chat and Send Message modes, which are new for Radmin version 3, all were developed to help you communicate with a person who operates a remote computer that you are connecting to.

Secure “Drag and Drop” file Transfer with “Delta Copy” feature
With Radmin you can securely drag and drop any files via its Explorer-like interface to or from a remote computer in encrypted mode. Radmin has a feature it uses when copying files that allows updating of only that part of a file which is different on both machines. This feature is called “Delta Copy” since only the difference between files (‘delta’) is copied. It lets you continue copying after a network fault from the place where the fault occurred rather than from the beginning. This feature is used automatically when any file is being copied to or from the remote machine.

Multiple Connections Support
Radmin supports simultaneous multiple connections to the same remote screen. This means that you can invite your friends or colleagues to view your screen remotely (very handy for conferencing) or you can view or control several remote computers from your own computer’s screen (very handy for remote helpdesk or teaching).
